Hard disks filed with music, TV shows, and movies sent to Americans stationed overseas.

A New Jersey network engineer is on a mission to send some love and care ” of the digital kind ” to Americans stationed overseas. Going by his hacker handle ‘Deviant Ollam’, he’s been sending out hard drives filled with popular movies, television shows and music for over a year. Dubbed the Traveling Terabyte Project (TTB), the drives have seen action in war-torn countries and one set is now making a small contingent of Marines very happy in the former Soviet republic of Tajikistan.

Deviant encourages users of the TTB to share their own pictures, music and other files by filling up the empty space on the drives. “I have a very open door policy about sharing. If there’s something interesting, and there’s room, feel free to share,” said Deviant. He adds that once people receive the drives they often have an “overwhelming and second nature” desire to add files.

Eventually, Deviant would like to deploy dozens of Traveling Terabyte boxes around the world. He also would like to set up a website and forum where people could put in file requests and even vote on material to add or delete. In true geek fashion, he thinks some type of routing system or protocol would be needed to give priority to people who want to upload files.
Sending out that many boxes would obviously require extra hard drives and cases and so far Deviant hasn’t asked any of the drive makers for help. “I’m not sure how they would react to this project, but I wouldn’t turn down free hardware,” he said.

Here’s a picture of the case.
